I'm trying to update the status of the EIGHT operational APRS satellites maintained on http://aprs.org/sats.html
145.825; * PSAT2 - Digi and Voice and HF/UHF PSK31 / SSTV /Voice operational * USNAP1 - Bricsat - Voltage Telemetry only - Digi inop * PSAT - digi and HF/UHF PSK31 operational * PCSAT (W3ADO-1) - Marginally operational when in good sun * ARISS - on ISS - inop * AISAT-1 - Unknown * LAPAN-Orari - Operational near equator YBOX-1
435.103/145.84 9600 baud * Falconsat - PFS3 Operational 9600 baud
Challenges: With three known operational birds on 145.825 the chances of trying to make a double hop packet success is improved. VIA ariss,ariss
Ten meter linear (SSB) uplink on 29.481 for PSK31, SSTV and Voice downink on 435.350 FM is underutilized. See http://aprs.org/psat2.html
Similarly PSK31 and SSTV HF uplink on PSAT on 28.120 MHz uplink downlink FM 435.350 is also under utilized.
